Ann BROWN Obituary

Beloved Mother, Grandmother & Lifelong Teacher Ann Cecelia Vukelich Brown was born on November 19, 1916, in Carson Lake, Minnesota, an immigrant mining location near Hibbing. Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Willliam A. Brown; son, Terence Brown; grandson, Lance Aaron Brown; sisters, Mamie, Mary and Antonia; brother, George; and parents, Anna Butkovich Vukelich and George Vukelich. She graduated from Hibbing High School, Hibbing Junior College and the University of Minnesota. Ann was a lifelong teacher, specializing in business education. She began her teaching career in Faith, SD and later taught high school in Bessemer, MI and Chokio, Owatonna, and Wood Lake, MN. Ann married William A. Brown in Sioux City, IA in 1944 while he was on leave from service in the US Army during World War II. They had four children: William, Terence (deceased), Sharon and Mary. The Brown family owned and operated a grocery store in Maynard, MN for 17 years, "Brown's Corner Market". In 1967, the family moved to Roseville, MN and Ann resumed her teaching career at Lindstrom-Center City High School, Our Lady of Peace, St. Joseph's Academy, and St. Paul Technical Vocational Institute. Wherever she went, Ann encountered grateful students. Her work in education offered her great purpose in life. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, passing on her strong faith and work ethic to her family. She supported and volunteered at a variety of Catholic organizations throughout her life. Ann's husband William passed away in 1990. She is survived by children William (Kathy) Brown, Sharon (Eldon) Brustuen, and Mary (Richard) Sand; daughter-in-law, Sheri Brown; 10 grandchildren, Ann (Aaron), Nicholas (Jana), Christopher, Benjamin, Brian, Richard, William Anthony, William Herbert (Christina), Robert, and Antonia; and four great-grandchildren, Favian, Isaiah, Nicholas and Angelina.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Brown families. Mrs. Brown was my high school business teacher at St. Joseph's Academy and Our Lady of Peace. Ann played a major role in my life and because of her recommendation I obtained my first and only job that lasted 37 years with the Minnesota Supreme Court. I have many fond memories of Ann as my first mentor. She was always so kind, trusting, encouraging and she guided me in the right direction.

Mrs. Brown was my typing and business teacher at St. Joe's Academy for Grade 9 & 10. What a wonderful woman and was glad to have had her as my teacher. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

My condolences to the Brown Family. Mrs. Brown was one of my teachers at SJA. I was in her typing class but she was always willing to help out with any of our other classes. She was an amazing lady.
